How well do YOU swim?

[Alphathree33]

Out of curiosity.

 

[BoomerD]

Before I got hurt, I'd have answered yes to all of them, but with the bad back, swimming is much more difficult than it used to be...actually, I swim pretty well with my arms, but kicking is problematic.

Too many questions makes baby jesus cry

 

[Gilligansdingy]

and this is for???

 

[Lola]

waaay too many polls.
I like to swim. I do not swim very well. I prefer laying on a float

 

[Kadarin]

I haven't been swimming in years, so I have no idea. I used to dive though, doing flips and whatnot off 5-meter platforms.

 

[nageov3t]

yes to all but the last one... at least I could the last time I did any great deal of swimming.

lately, though, the deepest pool I've been in has been a hot tub

 

[George P Burdell]

No, I can't swim across the English channel.

You used to dive off 5-meter platforms with aerial flips and you don't know if you can backstroke two lengths? !?

 

[FoBoT]

i can only do breast stroke for any distance
i could tread water/float for at least five minutes

 

[archiloco]

i can not swing, i can do the dead man float for a while, i can move in the water, but can't take breath...so useless...i think i need to take lessons..did as a kid but they kinda gave up on me...darn instructors.

Yeah, me too .

 

[MmmSkyscraper]

I try not to drown. Haven't been in a pool for nearly 10 years.

 

[WhiteKnight]

I was a competitive swimmer in HS and I answered yes to all of the questions.

 

[2Xtreme21]

Swimming was pretty much the only thing in Phys Ed that I can say I dominated at. I would have tried out for the swim team but I had pretty bad asthma then so anything more than a typical 45 minute gym class would literally kill me.

Peeing in the pool makes baby jesus cry too.

 

[Ryan]

Yes to all of the above.

Before I started smoking I did swam a mile a couple of times. Dunno about now

 

[spidey07]

all.

I can also swim a mile and tread water indefinately.

 

[Twista]

Where in the hell is the "i can't swim at all" option?

Answering "no" to all the questions is equivalent to that... don't need an extra question =)

 

[skyking]

I'm a regular fish.......without any training. I can crawl, tread water, freedive to 20 feet or so, but all those formal strokes? nah.

 

[Conky]

Weak, this poll is.

[SWScorch]

Not well at all. I can go about one length doing the front crawl before I collapse from sheer exhaustion. I can do backstroke all damn day though. I can't tread water for more than a few minutes, though, as I have very little body fat and no buoyancy whatsoever. I can run for hours and feel great but get me in a pool and I'm hanging onto the wall for dear life after 15 minutes.

 

[JulesMaximus]

I could swim about a mile easily in the ocean. I could tread water for hours and I can dive from a diving board into water without doing a belly flop. I've jumped off a 20' cliff into a quarry.
